Total War: Warhammer delayed into May, system requirements released

Weekender-goers, feel smug at your early hands-on! Everyone else, adopt a glum look at the news that Total War: Warhammer has been delayed from April 28 to May 24. Creative director Mike Simpson issued as statement as to the reason behind the delay, and frustrating though it is, I can't think up a better one.

"This could be the best Total War game we’ve ever made. We don’t want to rush it."

Meanwhile, the system requirements have been nailed down, giving you an extra month if you need to plug your computer full of new bits. Pleasingly, Creative Assembly has continued the trend among PC developers of offering extra sets of detailed specs so you can check whether your rig is able to go above and beyond. Note that this is the first Total War game to require a 64 bit OS.
